So you’ve been investigating the Liebherr world of refrigeration for possibly a while now or maybe you’ve only just discovered it and you keep hearing the words ‘BioFresh’ and ‘BioFreshPlus’ being thrown around. But what do these words actually mean? In very simple, easy to understand terms it is basically technology that was invented to help preserve the vitamins and minerals found in fresh foods and lengthens their lifespan!
Precision electronics in the BioFresh drawer ensure that the temperature is maintained at just above 0°C, preventing food from freezing, with adjustable humidity for different food types. Foods such as fruit and vegetables thrive best with high humidity, while meat, fish & dairy products are better in a dry environment. Whilst for the BioFreshPlus drawer the temperature can be set at -2°C (fish and seafood) or 0°C. Selected models can be set at +6°C with different humidity levels, allowing you to store tropical fruits for longer.
